Bruichladdich Octomore Edition 14.3 Islay Barley Super Heavily Peated 5yr Single Malt Scotch Whisky 214.2 PPM 750ml
SCOTLAND : ISLAY
100% Islay-grown Concerto Barley
FULL-BODIED, PEAT SMOKE, HONEYCOMB, SALTED CARAMEL, CEREAL, SEA BRINE
The Octomore farm sits two miles south of Bruichladdich on the Rhinns of Islay. The Concerto barley grown in its Village and Lorgba fields is malted to 214.2 PPM — five times the phenol level of standard heavily peated Scotch — then matured for five years in first-fill ex-American whiskey casks (50%) and second-fill wine casks (50%). Bottled at cask strength, non-chill filtered, natural color.
What makes Octomore 14.3 notable is not the PPM but the balance: the peat is present, unmistakable, and deep, but the Islay barley's honeyed cereal sweetness holds its own. Five years in active casks integrates the smoke without burying it.
SUGGESTED SERVES :
| Neat | rest 5 minutes in the glass; peat and barley sweetness settle into balance |
| Splash of still water | opens the fruit layer and softens phenolic edge; reveals honeycomb and cereal |
| Skip the ice | cold closes down the aromatics — the 14.3 is built for ambient-temperature appreciation |
